HISTORY

Sniffing the air, you taught me how to grasp the essence of things, how to run to the waterfalls in the woods, and then there, among the mercurial waters, how to find the center of my being.

Damp nose, in the darkest of nights you slept beside me like no human has ever done, and following the rhythm of my breath you licked my torn shadow.

Joyful heart, you gifted me with the missed caresses of a distracted love and at every step you touched the shadow to flood it with light.

It is funny that in my presumption I thought I had saved your life, when it was you who saved mine.
